Death for a Slap.

ssffs God, Polly is in the well. Some
pae IN for help quick. Oh! my dar-
ling, my childlb exclaimed lady re-
siding on the Courtland avenue extern
sion yesterday morning, as she sprang
from the rear yeranda toward awell in
tie yard.
In q second the lady was standing be.
side the well peering down the deep
round hole toward the water. The well
was deep and dark, and for second
nothing could be seen, but as soon as
her eyes became accustomed to the
darkness she discovered the object OF
her affection hobbing up and down the
water.
"There she is" she exclaimed. Let
the bucket down quick. Quick, be
quick" ~
Then, as the bucket went down, she
leaned far over the well, calling out:
"There. my child, get in the bucket
and hold on tight. They will draw you
up" -,
THE bucket went down and again the
lady stopped over and repeated her di-
rection. In second an answer came
back from the well. It was: .
"No, I won't get in the bucket.
You whipped me and / am going TO
.dSown." =,
Almost beside herself with grief the
lady called again and again for help.
Finally, man passing came In, and
going down in the we'll found the dead
body, and bringing il out, handed it 70
the lady. She grabbed it eagerly, and
pressing it to her lips between her sobs,
said:
NV child is dead. Oh, what shall
dol Mother did scold and slap her, but
she is sorry. Is it dead 7"
For the past two or three days Polly
Ind been sulky aud in bad humot
The lady had tried hard TO change 1t!
temper, but she could not. Early yes
terday morning she was very crank,
and received a slight tap ON the Jaw
The lick was not hard, but it wounded
Polly's feelings. Looking the lady Il
the face she said:
"You have slapped Polly. but yo'
won't do it any more. She is going .
kill herself. "
In second she was flying toward tn
well. At the edge she hesitated min
ute, and then leaping over the box wen
down toa wntery grave.
Polly was parrot and at the time
her death was the property Of the grand
daughter of the lady who first owne
her. She was a magnificent talker, an

Farm and Garden Notcs.I

As breeder of disease few things ex-
eel a neglected farmhouse cellar.
Always water your horses before feed
ing them grain, and not soon after.
Air.slaked lime is recommended for
the cabbage, onion and turnip maggots.
Coal ashes possess little or no manurial
value, but serve to tighten up stiff soil.
The Swiss dairyman salts his cows
every morning before they are watered.
Raising fruit, such as grapes, nectar
ines, etc, in pots and un6 er glass is
practiced by the English. ,
Several cases are reported of fresh
apple pomace having been preserved in
the silo with very satisfactory results.
An expression of opinion at recent
meeting of farmers developed the fact
that most Of them inclined to cut hay
when in full bloom. .~5. ,
DR.. Warder says that the strawberry
affords one of the best illustrations of
the benefits of shortcning-in fruit-bear-
ing plants to increase fruitfulness.
II is better to hayea crop Of some kind
in the ground at all times, provided such
crops be not permitted TO mature, but to
be turned under as manure. Fallowing
is not always best.
Prof. Goessman, Of New York, has
profted by cultivating the Southern cow
pea, producinga large amount Of forage
but not seeds. As green manure and
as fodder the cow pea is invaluable.
Corn, clover and other crops should be
allowed to pass the succulcnt stage and
come nearly TO maturity before putting
them in the silo. Thus they contain the
most nutriment and the smallest per cent.
OF water.
Every horse, no matter OF what breed
or for what purpose. is the better for en-
! ioying at least few weeks of pasture in
summer. Horses should not be subjected
to sudden changes from stable to hot sun,
and rice rersd. =
There are seye.al reasons for butter be-
coming strong, says HoanI's DeiryHaaR.
Among them arc: Using pals and pans
that are not thoroughly cleaned from
stale milk; setting the stale milk in badly
ventilated cellars or milk-houses; keep
ing the milk too long, until it gets very
sour; keeping the cream too long; churn-
ing too slowly, or in an unclean churn ;
not taking all the buttermilk out of the
butter; keeping the butter in a warm,
badly aired or mouldly place; these all
cause the butter to become strong, which
Is the effect OF decomposition in IL. The
food or water Of the COW will also cause
the trouble.
Those who have plowed corn under
for green manuring have been surprised
that no benefit from it was observed in
after tillage. Even after the lapse oi
two, four and six months the corn was
still lying green in the bottom Of the
furrow, and good as ensilage. Glover,
however, thus turned under will rot and
emit a powerful odor in week after
being covered, in warm weather. Green
manuring with clover seems to benefit
the land, while that with corn usually
does not. Green manuring with rye ha:
been found Of great benefit to the po
tatO crop, IL plowed under in the spring
The rye for this purpose should he sowet
in the autumn. After heading out and
growing TO q height Of three or foul
feet, il can be plowcd under for corr
and potatoes.

The Parsnip.

When well grown, the parsnip is con-
sidered to be one of our most valuable
and desirable garden vegetables, and ii
is TO be regretted that so little care and
attention has been bestowed upon it by
our amateur cult, ators, for it well de-
serves : place in all gardens, no matter
how small.
1t prefers deep, moderately enriched
sandy loan, one that has been well
worked for a previous crop, although
any other will answer il thoroughly and
deeply plowed as early in the season as
possible. ~. ..ss.....
II is best to give liberal dressing Of
decayed manure, and this should be well
and deeDly incorporated with the soil by
meaps Of the plow. A good narrowing
should then he given, so as to level it off
nicely, when it should be marked of into
drills about two feet apart and an inch
and half in depth. In these drills the
seed should be sown rather thinly, and
covered to the depth Of about half an
inch.
The seed should be sown carly in the
spring, just as soon as the ground can
be properly prepared. As soon rs the
young plants are strong enough to handle
they should be thinned out. so that they
stand five or six inches apart. then a
thorough hoeing should be given. After
this all the attention they will require is
10 keep them we'll cultivated and free
from weeds, and at each hoeiGg !e. 4;
tie fresh earth be drawn up around the
plants.
As they are best alter being touched
by frost, il is customary to permit at leas,
half Of the crop TO remain in the ground
until toward spring when L can be dug
and used. The portion OF the crop in,
tendedfor winter use is dug in Noyem
Der, the later the better, and stored In
sand IN cool cellar.

Cows and Green Apples.

Whether apples will injure milch cows
depends greatly upon how they are fed,
and something also on the character of
the fruit. A cow usually has no more
discretion as to the kind of apples she
should eat or the amount than q small
school-boy. When cows break into an
orchard or a sudden wind storm brings
down great number Of apples prema-
turely, SO. that cows can get them, then
serious injury is sure 10 result. The cow
has the cramps as evidently as boy
could have them. Often the first sign
the owner has is a sudden falling off of
the milk yield, and though they may be
partially restored, the injury to the tone
Of the stomach is such that the yield will
not again be as great during that season
as it was before. The worst effects are
from unripe fruit. 1t takes only few
sour green apples to derange the stomach.
The acid, bitter juices, with which they
are filled are more or less poisonous, and
even one or two will do more harm than
good. When apples are fully ripe very
few daily may be given with advantage to
milch cows, though snlr apples should
be avoided, as even in small quantities
they are of little value for milk produc-
ton. II given at all they should be
fed in measured quantities, and on no
account should cows be turned in to
help themselves; they will cat a great
many in short time, and il hurried may
choke in trying to eat too rapidly

For years past the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad system has been consid-
cred the richest and most substantial
system in America but since the elder
Garrett died and young Robert Garrett
came into control the i. Il .. system
has been building large and expensive
lines in competition with the Pennsyl-
vania and has exhausted its surplus and
has been forced to dispose Of its tele'
graph and express systems. 1t cost

to get into Philadelphia. 10 Ray these
enormous expenses it made the largest

week by negotiating with a syndicate

adherents that this transaction would
